Comment on Ask HN: As a programmer, how do you know if you're a good one or not?parent

This. After 15 years as a professional developer I have a fairly good idea where my boundaries are, and that's about it.

Expect to learn new things every day, and from every conceivable source: your fellow developers, junior and senior, of course, but also your PM (for example, prioritization, techniques to organize work), designers (information flow, HCI), business analysts (how the client ticks), etc.. Very likely everyone you ever worked with could teach you something, and you'll never have time to learn it all.
